ABSTRACT:
A lightweight steam iron having a soleplate and means to selectively deliver water thereto for distribution of steam from the soleplate. To this an improvement is provided comprising a first plastic skirt above the soleplate coextensive with the soleplate to form a skirt therearound, a second plastic housing having a handle and sealingly mounted on and supported by the skirt. The skirt and housing form the walls of an internal water tank and also enclose the iron operating components. The sealing mount is disposed along all the surface contacts between the plate and the housing and is formed with the sealing compound to provide a portion of the compound in compression on either expansion or contraction of the plastics to form a seal between the plastics at all time which plastics may have different coefficients of expansion.
